Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league signee Tom Koehler has decided it’s time to hang up the spikes. Koehler announced his retirement on Instagram with the following caption:
Thank You you have been great to me. Looking forward to starting my next chapter in the game. Idk when or what that will be. But first I have some 5 year old softball to watch.
Koehler was signed by the Bucs on a two-year minor league deal in February 2019, and was brought in as a reclamation project. However, he was already going to miss most of 2019 after undergoing shoulder surgery at the end of the 2018 season.
